Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 309 Night Battle
Darkness has come.

It was pitch black on the sea.

It was originally a full moon tonight, but at night, more and more clouds began to accumulate in the sky, and it looked like a storm was coming.

Tirpitz sailed in the Malan Sea with the fleet in high spirits. This point was the most energetic point of her day.In order to maintain silence, the fleet shut down almost all communications. Only Reputation would contact Hood on Malan Island every three 10 minutes.It was pitch dark all around, and almost nothing could be seen clearly with the naked eye, but the ship girls would not foolishly turn on the lights, it was no different from seeking death.

In the dark night, bright lights are the most obvious signs. It would be unreasonable for the enemy not to fight. Therefore, almost all fleets will use lights carefully when sailing at night. They will never do it easily unless they are in absolutely safe sea areas. Turn on the light.

Obviously, Mirage also has this habit.According to information from Lexington, before nightfall, Mirage's troops were still haunting this area. Their speed was not fast, and they also carried the burden of a broken power unit, making it impossible for them to run so fast.

Therefore, both Hood and Tirpitz knew very well that the main force of mirages from Violet must still be in this sea area. They may be retreating to Violet Island, or they may be wandering near Malan Island. , waiting for an opportunity to attack the Hood fleet on the island.

Hood thinks the latter is more likely.

After all, the aircraft carrier formation captured Yuluo Island at about three o'clock in the afternoon. By now, the Mirages should have noticed that something happened on Yuanluo Island. Although there was no trace of the Mirage troops coming from Richelieu, but This doesn't mean that Ziluolai doesn't know about this.

As an interconnected line of defense, the three islands must communicate with each other regularly, otherwise Violet would not have been able to detect the crisis on Malan Island so quickly.

As for why they didn't notice what was happening on Iluso Island, that was beyond the scope of Hood's consideration.

These are special times and any consideration needs to take into account the worst-case scenario.

If Mirage knew that Iuluo Island was lost, they would definitely not let them easily occupy Malan Island. If they cannot resolve the battle tonight and initially occupy control of the Malan Sea area, there will probably be more Mirage tomorrow. Violent attack.

With the change in tactics, without Mirage's knowledge, the two fleet forces tacitly switched from defensive to offensive. Tirpitz began to actively search for traces of the Mirage forces, while the Hood fleet quickly Time supplies resources.

The Mirage Force's communication signals are becoming more frequent.

Because I don’t know the password, I don’t know the content of their communication.

But if you want to find the most likely reason, it must be that the mirage drifting in the westerly wind found that Yuanluo Island was lost!
At this time, the mirage troop in the Malan sea area, even if it is not the strongest force on Violet Island, is definitely the main echelon. Once this troop is wiped out, it will undoubtedly open another hole in Violet Island. By then they may not be able to regain the two islands captured by the ship girls.

Looking for the direction of the signal, Tirpitz and the others quietly touched it.

There are no other islands around, and the only island of Malang has no trace of modernity.On a night without moonlight or stars, it's really hard to see.The ship girls thought they had powerful night vision, but they were unable to identify things hundreds of meters away. The mirage-hunting troops also switched from naked eyes to specialized radar.

Finally, around ten o'clock in the evening, Tirpitz saw a reaction not far away on the radar!
Now, the ship girls are faced with a difficult problem - should they fire?
In such a dark night, any movement on the quiet sea is like a magnifying glass, magnified more than ten times. Once you make a mistake in judgment, you will undoubtedly expose yourself to a mirage, which is very dangerous.

After a battle in the afternoon, the main force of the Mirage had been weakened by the Hood Fleet and Dafeng in two waves. Not only had they lost personnel, but the strongest combat force had also lost its combat power due to the damage to its weapons. discount.

The main reason is that Tirpitz is really not sure whether mirages can appear on the radar like those in the deep sea instead of being screened out as birds or something.

After careful consideration, Tirpitz decided to let Reputation try to distinguish the situation on the opposite sea area with the naked eye.Shengxing took out the telescope that had not been used for a long time.

"Indeed!" Reputation replied affirmatively.

"Are you sure?!" Tirpitz couldn't believe it. Isn't this too fast?

"I vaguely saw a moving black shadow over there." Sheng Sheng said coolly.

Bismarck also looked in the same direction, and indeed saw a group of black shadows, but he was not sure that it was the mirage troop they were looking for: "Oh...do you have such good eyesight?"

Reputation shrugged and said: "Because I saw a guy on the opposite side seemed to have fallen on the ground. I have seen this kind of situation too many times, and it's not like I have never fallen before in night battles."

Bismarck rolled his eyes. Although he wanted to complain, he didn't know where to start. After all, what Reputation said was indeed true. At first, he had only dreamed of wrestling like crazy when he was killing the team. After fighting day and night, he would wrestle, especially when it came to In the night battle, it was obviously her turn to deliver the final blow to the deep-sea flagship, but the result was that the admiral fell down and had to start over.

Now that the target has been determined, Tirpitz did not hesitate, and the four battleships began to adjust the muzzles.The first round of bombardment in the night battle is crucial. If certain results are achieved in this sneak attack, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to the enemy. Once this round of bombardment fails, then our fleet will undoubtedly be exposed to the enemy. under view.

The artillery fire at night is very obvious. You only need to observe the flames of the main guns to determine their positions. After that, there is no difference between the two sides except that it is more difficult to hit than during the day.

Despite Tirpitz's order, the cannonballs fired by the ship's ladies roared out.

Then, the shell exploded at the location just judged, and the white light instantly illuminated the sea area very brightly. The effect of the illumination bomb was really powerful, and the ship girls clearly saw the whole picture of Mirage's main force.

Before the mirages could react, the bombardment of the ship girls had already fallen on their heads.

The sound of explosions once again became the main theme of this sea area.

An hour into the battle, Hood led the Royal Navy fleet to fight back from Maran Island.

Under attack from two sides, the ship girls were already sure of victory.

The battle lasted until midnight, and the mirage's counterattack exceeded the imagination of all the ship girls present. Only three mirage captains in the entire mirage army successfully escaped from the chase of the ship girls, and the remaining "squids" all fought to the death. In the end, it became a brand new embellishment on this sea.

The ship's ladies were not unscathed either. Tirpitz was directly hit by a cannonball from the "Drilling Fish". If it weren't for his thick skin, Tirpitz would have been severely damaged.

Just like this, Beizhai was still happy.

Finally, I can fish openly and openly!

she thought so.
